Solution
Given `alpha, beta,y` be the zeros of the polynomial x3 + 4x2 + x − 6
Product of the zeros = `(\text{Constant term })/(\text{Coefficient of}\x^3) = (-(-6))/1 =6`
The value of Product of the zeros is 6.
Hence, the correct choice is `( c ).`

Annie was standing on a diving board, 48 feet above the water level. She took a dive into the pool. Her height (in feet) above the water level at any time ‘t’ in seconds is given by the polynomial h(t) such that h(t) = -16t2 + 8t + k.
The zeroes of the polynomial r(t) = -12t2 + (k - 3)t + 48 are negative of each other. Then k is ______.
An asana is a body posture, originally and still a general term for a sitting meditation pose, and later extended in hatha yoga and modern yoga as exercise, to any type of pose or position, adding reclining, standing, inverted, twisting, and balancing poses.
